1 Step Lyrics by Danny Brown

The Hybrid: Cutting Room Floor

2010

[Intro]
Uh
One time
Uh
Yeah
One step
Uh
Yeah
It's one step at a time
It’s what I do with the rhyme
Yeah
Uh
Yo

[Verse 1]
If that knife's too short take one step closer
Two steps from hell so a step from being over
A step from the pen but I dripped on this rap shit
Now I'm ’bout to take one step in a mansion
Bitches say I'm handsome
But know I ain't made it yet
The journey of a million miles begin with one step
Niggas show me love, I think it's all fake 'causе
Deep in they heart I know it's one stеp from hate
So they can suck a dick, I really don't care
Elevator to success is broke, I gotta take the stairs
A step at a time, left and right
Niggas need to quit rapping, take a step from the mic
Rappers terrified, I look 'em in they eyes
They give me [?] and give me highfives
But I know they scared, tonight don’t get smeared
’Cause courage is just one step from fear

[Hook]
I can't think of the rhyme so
I take it one step at a time
Uh, I can’t think of the rhyme so
I take it one step at a time
Uh, I can't think of the rhyme so
I take it one step at a time
Uh, one step at a time
Uh, just one step at a time

[Verse 2]
They say a honest man will stay behind opportunity
So I cut in front of liars, spit truancy
I'm nice 'cause I skipped school to write
Nigga I don’t feel ya
Far from a failure
The bitch is a pop-off
Work in the sock drawer
Banging that Tupac
A step from a outlaw
Kush switch to southpaw
Leave a nigga jaw rocked
Yo, you don't know who we are?
Darg you just a step from the ER
We throw them Bs up but darg we ain't a Blood
Only rep green, fuck money, that's bud
I'm like "Aye cuz I'm tryna get high"
And this kush got me one step from alive
Roll another blunt, [?] another five
Talking 'bout fifty, anybody with me
On thee neck heavy, fuck a record label
So if that means I'm one step from cable
Do it for success, my nigga, fuck a deal
[?] peel
Like it's a Happy Meal
[?]
A step from a overdose

[Hook]
Uh, I can't think of the rhyme so
I take it one step at a time
Uh, I can't think of the rhyme so
I take it one step at a time
One step at a time
